Abstract

Rapid population aging has intensified the prevalence of malnutrition, sarcopenia, frailty, and oral dysfunction, significantly affecting healthcare outcomes and quality of life in older adults. A growing body of evidence suggests that integrating rehabilitation, nutrition support, and oral health management-a "triad" approach-may yield superior clinical outcomes compared to isolated interventions.

The paper claims that a triad strategy of rehabilitation, nutrition, and oral management can improve outcomes for malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty in older adults. This research is relevant as it addresses multiple factors contributing to aging-related decline and seeks to improve health outcomes in the elderly population, which is crucial for longevity.
